The Patriots will roll with Jarrett Stidham.

What are you talking about? They love Dalton. They would love nothing more than to send him to a good situation. There is just no market for him. Nobody wants him

Bynes would be a decent grab as would Mark Barron if he is still available.

The Patriots have never been this stupid. Highly doubt this, they will trade for Andy just so he doesn't test the market.

Andy is much better than Stidham. 3rd rounder for Dalton is my prediction from the Patriots.

I agree — but I have a foreboding feeling. It might just be the taco chili I had for dinner.

I’m not saying I’m a bad cook but in my house we pray after dinner.

This group has been on scoops so far this week. They said the Bengals have reached out to LB Josh Bynes about an hour ago.

Edit: Also that the Patriots have asked for the medicals for Alex Smith.

Alex Smith.  Now that is a Belichick kind of guy.

Not to mention how any of this would have worked out, mathematically.  C'mon man, give me something to work with here..

You're right, mostly.  It was a bourbon fueled response.  And this reply is late since I was on vacation last week when free agency started.  I don't see alerts on my iPhone like I do on my iPad.  I was simply going for cutting Glenn and dre to sign Conklin and go for a linebacker.  Draft a CB as this is a deep class.  Of course they more than adequately addressed CB in free agency.

I'll try and do better ?
